if the foreign income was taxed in a foreign country, then you need to be able to show this income against foreign taxes paid -- form 1116.  If on the other hand , you consulted, got paid by a foreign client but did NOT pay any foreign taxes, then just convert the amount in US dollars ( using exchange rate when exchanged or anual average exchange published by the treasury, whichever is more apropo) and  include in your gross income on schedule-C

This does not answer the question of how you both claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (form 2555) and report the same income on Schedule C as Self-Employment income.
